..The performance and alertness effects of modafinil were evaluated to determine whether modafinil should replace caffeine for restoring performance and alertness during total sleep deprivation in otherwise healthy adults...

Performance and alertness effects of caffeine, dextroamphetamine, and modafinil during sleep deprivation

..The duration of these benefits vary in accordance with the different elimination rates of the drugs. Whether caffeine, dextroamphetamine, and modafinil differentially restore executive functions during sleep deprivation remains unclear...

Effects of modafinil on cognitive performance and alertness during sleep deprivation

..of this report was to evaluate performance following multiple administrations of the ANAM4 TBI Battery: does performance in a repeated measures paradigm constitute a stable, interpretable indication of baseline neurocognitive ability?..

..Conversely, stable post-awakening correlations--such as those found between the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and most other brain regions--may denote the pattern of functional connectivity that underlies consciousness itself...

A new metric for quantifying performance impairment on the psychomotor vigilance test

..Based on these findings, and that the new metric considers performance changes based on the entire set of responses relative to a baseline, we conclude that it provides a number of potential advantages over the traditional PVT metrics...
